Global Era of Star trekking

His gaze followed that of the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines, looking down into the depths of the cavern. In the deep underground of this cave space, there was a plant standing a hundred meters tall, its entire trunk covered with sharp wooden spikes each about a meter long.

It was precisely because of the distinctive features of this ancient tree that Song Chi was able to recognize it upon first sight.

The God Tempering Fruit Tree, a very special Floating Land plant, is not unique to the Soul Spirit Floating Land and may occasionally appear on some unknown Starry Sea Floating Land.

This type of plant is exceedingly rare, hundreds or even thousands of times rarer than a chimera, but even so, Torch Human Civilization has recorded quite a few instances of it over its long history of over three hundred thousand years.

Being a Divine Soul Type plant of the Floating Land, the value of the God Tempering Fruit Tree is extremely high. It bears fruit only once every three thousand years, and it takes another three thousand years for the fruit to fully mature into complete Divine Tempering Fruits.

There are only twenty Divine Tempering Fruits every six thousand years, which greatly enhance the spiritual (mental, consciousness, soul thought) aspects of flesh-and-blood creatures.

Looking at the God Tempering Fruit Tree now, although it does not bear the full twenty fruits, having only eight, and considering its still greenish peel, it’s clear that even these remaining eight are not yet fully ripe.

However, this does not detract from their value.

Even the unripe Divine Tempering Fruits have a considerable effect on refining spiritual force, just not as strong as when they are fully ripe.

...

Turning his gaze away from the God Tempering Fruit Tree, Song Chi’s brainwaves also issued a new directive.

A directive for a direct confrontation.

Upon receiving the directive, the leading Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine immediately opened the backpack it carried and took out a drone of bizarre appearance.

After embedding a few Terrastones into the drone’s energy slots, the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine violently hurled the drone at the two Blackwater Xuan Snakes surging towards them from below. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Without regard for the subsequent outcome, after launching the drone, the four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines almost instantly disappeared into the void.

It was the next second after they merged with the void that the small drone collided with the top of one of the Blackwater Xuan Snakes’ heads.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

For a moment, a series of explosions too intense to describe echoed throughout the cave space.

Even the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines, which were hidden in the dark side of the void, did not dare to rashly scout the outside world at this moment, as the entire cave space was undergoing a full-scale distortion under the impact of the explosion at the Third Rank Peak Level, and using the Rift-Space Ability to check the outside world would probably cause the very consequences they had under control.

Sensing the terrifying might of the explosion, Song Chi silently nodded and murmured to himself,

"As expected of a Deep Space Magic Energy Bombing Drone made by goblins, its power is indeed astounding..."

Indeed, that seemingly harmless mini drone was one of the five suicide bombing drones he had purchased from Goblin Luke.

Considering the performance, the price of 100 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin for each drone seems justified, at least in terms of might.

As for whether the terrifying impact of the explosion would affect the outside world, Song Chi was not worried about that. With the space isolation barrier in place, no matter how astonishing the commotion inside the cave space, it would be unlikely to transmit outside, eliminating the possibility of exposure.

As the terrific wave of energy dissipated a bit, the four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines eagerly re-emerged from the void. The lingering energy fluctuations in the cave space were still significantly affecting their puppet bodies, but in order to ensure the defense of the cave entrance, Song Chi could not be concerned about that.

Looking forward, the cave was now a scene of complete disarray.

Debris strewn around, the two kilometer-long Blackwater Xuan Snakes coiled up on both sides of the cave’s passageways, dark blood seeping from their black scale armor, with large burnt wounds scattered across their bodies, clearly indicating the explosion of the Deep Space Magic Energy Bombing Drone had caused them grave injuries.

However, this situation did not last long. The two Blackwater Xuan Snakes quickly rallied and, undeterred by the wounds on their bodies, twisted and lunged toward the entrance of the cave space again.

A pair of serpentine pupils in vertical slits, the entire eyes a bright red, while at the same time, the familiar Divine Soul spikes rapidly congealed above the massive head.

Roar!

Amidst the roaring, countless Divine Soul spikes shot out, heading straight for the four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines.

Hum!

With no other choice, Song Chi could only have the leading Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine vanish into the dark side of the void, hoping to evade the countless Divine Soul spikes’ attack.

As puppets, the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines didn’t possess the concept of Spiritual Force and weren’t afraid of the Divine Soul attack, but the problem was that Song Chi couldn’t withstand it: His Brainwave Beacon was synchronized with his true self, and any impact on that could cause trouble.

At the moment, his spiritual force was still at the Ordinary Thought State First Rank, and even with the protection of the Blue Torch Seed, he was not necessarily able to withstand an attack from a Second Rank Soul Spirit Clan, not to mention a Third Rank Level?

However, he thought too simply. The Divine Soul attack of the Third Rank Level Soul Spirit Clan was even more astonishing than he imagined, actually following along the spatial rift left by the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines, chasing all the way here.

Hum hum hum!

Aboard the Furious Lion, Song Chi suddenly heard a sharp buzzing sound in his ears, and the next second, his mind went almost completely blank, filled with that piercing buzz.

Clearly, even if the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine entered the void early, it still couldn’t avoid the attack of the Divine Soul spikes.

While dazed, the abnormality in the underground cave space did not pause with him; the two Blackwater Xuan Snakes that were attacking all along made no delay, heading straight for the entrance of the cave space.

In the depth of the cave, the two Third Rank Soul Spirit Clan members understood clearly that the cave space must have been exposed; they had to find a way to notify their people to come over, otherwise, not only would they die here, but the God Tempering Fruit Tree would also be at risk of being snatched away.

As for Song Chi, he was already powerless to do anything; if he couldn’t even take care of himself, how could he have any strength left to block them?

But just at this critical moment, a ripple suddenly passed through the spatial separation screen behind him, and soon Song Mingsong’s figure appeared within it.

He stood atop the head of a Third Rank Peak Thorned Flying Dragon, and after several commands, the Thorned Flying Dragon let out a roar, its massive mouth suddenly wide open as scorching flames spewed forth.

Under the scorching Dragon Breath, the two swiftly advancing Blackwater Xuan Snakes’ speed sharply decreased, finally stopping obediently a hundred meters away from the entrance to the cave space.

In the depths of the cave, the two Third Rank Soul Spirit Clan members, undeterred, passed the command to attack through the Soul Seals in their minds to the two Blackwater Xuan Snakes, but the snakes did not obey. Instead, they trembled and coiled, not daring to move a step further.

Atop the Thorned Flying Dragon, Song Mingsong wore a smile, not surprised in the least.

The Third Rank Peak Thorned Flying Dragon he had enslaved was a creature of the Dragon Species, naturally possessing a bloodline suppression over ordinary snake creatures.

After a brief moment of delight, Song Mingsong’s gaze turned, looking down into the depths of the cave, and as his eyes fell on the spiky plant, he soon burst into laughter.

Although Song Chi had been certain before, Song Mingsong still couldn’t set aside his doubts without seeing it with his own eyes; not that he didn’t trust his grandson, but hearing is not like seeing, especially regarding something as important as the God Tempering Fruit Tree, he dared not jump to conclusions before seeing it himself.

"Good, good, good, it really is the God Tempering Fruit Tree!"

Amidst the laughter, he made a beckoning gesture, summoning dozens of Third Rank Peak Flaming Soldier Figurines, while the Thorned Flying Dragon under his command rapidly plunged towards the two Blackwater Xuan Snakes below at his instruction.

Now that the God Tempering Fruit Tree was confirmed, the next step was only one thing: to completely clear out all the Soul Spirit Clan from this cave space, to make sure they wouldn’t, out of frustration and rage, damage the God Tempering Fruit Tree or the Divine Tempering Fruits.

"Little Chi, keep an eye on that God Tempering Fruit Tree!"

Song Mingsong gave Song Chi a nod, signaling him not to intervene and to just ensure the safety of the God Tempering Fruit Tree and the Divine Tempering Fruits.

In response, Song Chi’s eyes surged with spirit, and several of the four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines by his side were quietly replaced.
